MIT Says Texas has too Much Renewable Energy. 2 Solutions. Informed Intel.

Why is it a problem that Texas has an abundance of renewable energy?

• its causing negative energy pricing when wind and solar produce power in peak quantities
• utilities have to pay grid operators to take power off their hands

Are there solutions to a glut of renewable energy?

• Ship the energy. Yes, Germany, which also had negative energy prices, makes $2billion per year exporting energy
• Store the energy. Large scale storage of excess energy, which isn’t possible yet.
